We've just finished packing for the Bull Bay fest & will head out in the morning. My voice is starting to recover, here comes another weekend, physic'ed!. I can't believe I traveled 3000 miles to hear Jerry Epstein & Ralph Bodington 2 nights in a row, it was worth it. This time at the Llantrisant Folk Club, what a night & what a packed house. As an aside Jerry announceded that Roy Harris will be recieving a life time award at the Eisteddfod in New York. The floor singers weer all great & I'll have to say that the energy & good will put out by Pat "Ms Spoons" is enough to make the place bust with smiles, thanks to you & your hubby, Splott Man for all your warm welcomes & offers. Had the great pleasure of meeting up with other mudcatters, Mick Tams, Jude, Hillary (see you for Portsmouth) & I'm leaving out some again, sorry, my brain is only small. What a great group of folks down here in Wales. Micca had the bottom bunk & that's all I'm gonna say at the moment except that I probably woke him up as much as he woke up me. I'll be heading up to Angelsey in the morning with Carole & Andrew to have our fill of another weekend packed with music Charley, we did get to Rhossili & the Worm's Head off Gower, fantastic seaside scenery. Carole & Andrew, had me tripping to Swansea too. We finished off the day with some "salt marsh lamb", yum. Neil, my voice is on the way back but I don't know for how long with another weekend coming up, we'll see. The only thing you showed me was how to flap my lips & gums while humming & trying to get me to shake my head from side to side as I said "Ahhhhh,Eeeee,Iiiii,Ohhh" so's you could have a belly laugh at my expense Ken, be careful I think he likes you & he's taken a shine to you. It was a great time singing & traveling with you, yes, we'll have to do more of it, soon. Glad you mentioned Ken & Jan Lardner, I really enjoyed their company & conversations, great folks Moorley Man, if you see this, I forgot to say it was a treat to finally meet you, thanks for dropping bye, hope we'll meet soon,again.
